Deck Description

uses discard and land destroy to get the edge early on. ideas and suggestions welcome.

The main idea is to have an explosive start by making them discard most of their hand in the first 1-2 turns with hymn, pain, inquizition and blightning. The land destroy from sufferning and avalance riders keeps the enemy down and behind. The vampire sub theme is nice because gatekeepers sweep away what few creatures they manage to summon and nighthawks keep this deck ahead in the race. boodline keeper (and batterskull alternately) are the big finishers.

Deck discussion for preemptive strike

nice use of red with vamps. i would take out the riders and maybe add one of the new red vampires in innistrad or bloodghast.
the hymns and blightnings are great check out my vampire deck if you want its mono black.

When i made up this deck i went 1) hymn, 2) blighting, and then built from there. since a turn 1 ~ 2 hymn set the enemy back a lot (especially if it hit lands) i figured i would hit them while they were down with some land destroy. The vampire theme came afterwards. Bloodghast is a good suggestion though. might see where he can fit in.
